Surely the worrying thing is that it crashes XEmacs, not just that there's
a problem?
Not when the user has these settings
(setq max-lisp-eval-depth 100000)
(setq max-specpdl-size 50000)
These high values effectively disable the protection XEmacs
offers against infinite descent via recursion. So XEmacs runs
headlong into operating system's process stacksize limit, and
duly receives a SIGSEGV or whatever the equivalent death blow is
under Windows.
